Los Angeles Times ^ | 6:31 PM PST, February 26, 2009 | By Greg Miller

The Senate Intelligence Committee is preparing to launch an investigation of the CIA's detention and interrogation programs under President Bush, setting the stage for a sweeping examination of some of most secretive and controversial operations in recent agency history.

The probe is aimed at uncovering new information on the origins of the programs as well as scrutinizing how they were executed -- from the conditions at clandestine CIA prison sites to the interrogation regimens used to break Al Qaeda prisoners, according to Senate aides familiar with the inquiry plans.

Aye here.

OHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!! NOW I finally “get it” what Rush meant when he called him “Leakey Leahy”!!!!! I thought it was a physical thing about Leahy!!! But, it’s more that he “leaks” information that gets people killed.

These Dhimmicrats had best let sleeping dogs lie where “Bush” is concerned. They’re already over reaching, and “Bush” is more beloved than they wish to realize. “DeNile” is more than just a river.

They should pass sentence first, then have the verdict afterward.

[ whereas those investigations focused largely on errors in the CIA’s analytic efforts, the new inquiry will dive directly into its most sensitive operations]

Translation: In 2002 concerned itself with what the CIA had done wrong pre-nine-eleven. But now, Leahy and company will finish the job and and get rid of whatever they’ve been doing right.

“There was a deliberate effort not to develop firm ground rules, to be able to do things in a haphazard manner,” Panetta said.

Translation: If we don’t level the playing field for these terrorists it’s gonna be my a$$ that’s hanging out!

Obama and the democrats have time to do this...BUT THEY CAN’T FIND THE TIME TO READ THE BIGGEST STIMULUS BILL IN HISTORY BEFORE THEY SIGN IT INTO LAW!!

They are the scum of the earth. One the bright side though....if they push the CIA too far, expect even some of the Clinton holdovers still there, to start ‘leaking’ and blowing the whistle on Obama’s failures in the WOT(which have started already).

The Clinton administration started renditions and Panetta knew all about it.

Will they be looking into that? Foolish question, I know.

Obama and Panetta have already assured the CIA that they will not be penalized for any lapses under Bush.

I think this probably is nothing but a gesture toward the anti-war moonbat faction of the Democrat party. After all, it’s awkward when Code Pink demonstrates against Democrat lawmakers.
